I totally agree with you. And, as a GM, I don't really give a rats ass
about what numbers players have written on their sheets. However,
players love juggling numbers. Well, mine do anyway. ;)

Also, I'd like to keep the number of weaknesses flexible. While a few
positive traits might well be enough to portray different aspects of a
character, I feel that limiting characters' weaknesses to one may not
work in all cases... Depending of course on the style and setting and
how specific you want weaknesses to be, etc...

I just like to keep all bases covered, as they say. :) Anyways,
feedback is always welcome.
